Tahiti & The Society Islands - 7-Nights

Close your eyes and picture a landscape of dreams. A strand of tiny islets shimmering in the South Seas-emerald peaks, ringed by iridescent reefs, and infused with the floral aromas of Eden itself. It's no wonder that the enchantments of the Society Islands have become the stuff of legend, forever capturing the hearts of those fortunate enough to happen upon these shores. And after experiencing this week-long voyage, you'll be able to count yourself among them.

Highlights

  • Explore Huahine, one of French Polynesia's most unspoiled gems-a cultural sanctuary brimming with intriguing archeological sites, fragrant vanilla plantations, and mountainsides bursting with fruits, coconuts, and other tropical beauty.
  • Bask in the serenity of Motu Mahana, The Gauguin's own private islet nestled within Taha'a's dreamy lagoon; here you can swim in gin-clear waters, grab a beverage from the floating bar, enjoy an authentic Tahitian barbeque, or simply relax on a chaise beneath the sway of palms.
  • Discover Bora Bora and Moorea, the grand dames of the Society Islands revered for their iconic peaks and fabled lagoons; they are the South Pacific islands of your dreams.

    Detailed Itinerary

    Day 1 - Tahiti, Society Islands

    The largest of French Polynesia's 118 islands, Tahiti and it's capital city of Papeete are the perfect place to begin (and/or end) your South Pacific sojourn. The Gauguin waits patiently in the harbor, a vibrant and bustling market across the street and in the evenings roulottes (food trucks) line the nearby square offering tasty local fare.

    Day 2 - Huahine, Society Islands

    Don't be fooled by the vibe of this laid-back, secluded island. Many treasures are hidden among the lush rainforest and dramatic terrain.

    Day 3 - Taha'a, Society Islands (Motu Mahana)

    As the day unfolds in front of you, where will you go? Exciting shore excursions await, but so does Motu Mahana, Paul Gauguin Cruises' own private islet.
